Charlotte NC LKQ - I saw this Volvo with a GRM sticker on each rear 1/4 window
Next, I saw this spare laying around, anyone know what it's off of? I looked on the back and couldnt see any bolt spacing information
(if I knew the bolt pattern it'd help narrow down what manufacturer it could be)
I think that's a Mercedes spare, but am not totally certain. 5x120 or some similar nonsense?
EDIT: Evan beating me to the punch by a minute!
Are these sorts of spare wheels tough enough to survive competition use? Because if so they seem like an awesome option for ultra skinny ice racing tires or similar.

Have we ID'd the wagon owner? Sad to see.
Agree. That side of that wagon is too nice to be in a junkyard.
In reply to Pete Gossett (Forum Supporter) :
yes but the benz wheels are 15" which is easier to get a skinny for. Gto's are 17"
Sonic said:The number that starts with A 170 below the X lug bolt is the Mercedes part number.
For the sticker or the wheel? Audi does similarly; part number on everything but in that instance it would be the part number for the sticker.
The Vredestein tire says euro, that style of sticker and lug bolt (not nut...) icon say german, the actual appearance of the wheel says Mercedes. Plus several people already recognized exactly where it's from lol.

Im in Winston Salem
I mean, what are you looking for? Yeah, LKQ is cheap, but if you drive an hour and dont find what youre looking for (in good shape) then it's a bust of a half day.
Yeah, super sporty spare, and interesting tire on it, not a 'normal' tire, caught my eye, was near a BMW but lots of things are just laying around so who knows
If it were 5x114 I'd get it for the MR2
